Computing - Matching Education to Requirements
I participated at this conference on the Computing subject and its fit with societal need.

The thesis of the conference was:
Applications to study Computer Science related degree courses are collapsing. The term ‘crisis’ is not being under-used in this context.
We believe that these effects are the symptoms of a deeper confusion of identity within our subject. It is clear that change needs to be brought into our schools and colleges to:
- motivate and inspire
- innovate rather than stifle
- connect together the various strands of IT teaching at different stages of the education system
- clarify the skills and knowledge required at each stage to ensure successful progression.
